Why IaaS for Virtual Data Centers and Virtual Servers?

No service is perhaps more synonymous with ‘The Cloud’ than Infrastructure as a Service. For many businesses migrating their servers and data centers is a first step into the cloud with goals of greater scalability and agility, improved uptime, disaster avoidance and recovery, greater security and compliance.

Why Evolve IP for IaaS?

We get it, your web apps and content require elasticity but your internal workloads require stability and privacy. You’re also likely thinking long-term about a cloud strategy; not solving for point solutions as needs arrive. Bottom line, your business is unique … complex … not cookie cutter.

That’s why organizations like yours turn to Evolve IP for infrastructure that fully leverages our state-of-the-art virtual private cloud; a cloud that integrates with hybrid configurations, interoperates with public cloud and seamlessly ties ‘as-a-service’ solutions like DRaaS, DaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS and more together.

The Evolve IP Compliance CloudTM

Compliance is a way to do business … not an afterthought when customers need it. At Evolve IP we have a dedicated compliance and security practice. This focus allows us to deliver the 3rd party audited documentation and assurances that other’s simply cannot including HIPAA / HITRUST, PCI-DSS (all 12 sections), ITAR, SOC 2/3 and more.

The Compliance CloudTM includes true client isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, private VLANs, firewalls and dozens of other security measures.

Evolve IP has worked with two of the top 3rd party compliance auditors, Grant Thornton and Ernst & Young, to enable customers to extend their compliance to our certified compliant cloud.

VMware Enterprise Provider

Evolve IP has achieved the highest levels of certification within VMware, the global leader for virtualization with an estimated 75% market share. Our expertise and experience migrating thousands of businesses to the cloud ensures you can easily move existing workloads to Evolve IP the way they exist today without retrofitting.

Amazon Connect Member

As an Amazon Connect member we provide clients with even greater flexibility if public cloud becomes required. This means that with Evolve IP, private workloads and public applications can co-exist and live in the clouds where they belong. Evolve IP’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service delivers just the technology you need, the way you want to consume it.

Clear “non-usage” based pricing

It’s hard to believe that this needs to be stated but there are many companies providing private and virtual private cloud infrastructure that still make pricing difficult to understand and bill at the usage level.

Virtual Private Cloud

Enjoy the built-in high-availability and scalability of public clouds with the control and privacy of a private cloud. True isolation is provided via a suite of best-of-breed security solutions, technologies and procedures.

High-performance Infrastructure

Guaranteed Resource Reservation

Your resources are yours and yours alone; not oversubscribed as in public offerings. All Evolve IP IaaS clients receive secure multi-tenancy with isolation. Dedicated infrastructure resources are also available.

Secure and Flexible Connectivity Options

Over the last decade Evolve IP has built one of the world’s most robust data and voice networks leveraging multiple Tier 1 carriers across the globe with additional options for VPN, SD-WAN and private connectivity. The result is a resilient, fully-meshed redundant network that provides true peace of mind.

Unlike other vendors Evolve IP can host a variety of OS providing additional levels of tech support and expertise.

Hybrid Cloud

Evolve IP is a member of Amazon Connect and can connect privately to your hyper-scale applications in the public cloud.

Leverage existing staff, skills and experience

According to the “Yankee Group – Top 5 Motivators for Using IaaS” Hiring and training runs counter to a top cloud desire of IT to ‘decrease costs’. With Evolve IP there is no need to focus on unnecessary training for tools your team has never used or hiring new talent for public deployments.

The Evolve IP Compliance CloudTM

Compliance is a way to do business … not an afterthought when clients need it.

At Evolve IP we have a dedicated compliance and security practice and work with two of the world’s top 3rd-party compliance auditors, Grant Thornton and Ernst & Young, to enable customers to extend their compliance to our fully audited cloud. This focus allows us to deliver the documentation and assurances that other’s simply cannot including HIPAA / HITRUST, PCI-DSS (all 12 sections), ITAR, SOC 2/3 and more. The Compliance CloudTM includes true client isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, private VLANs, firewalls and dozens of other security measures.

What Our Clients Say

We have been Evolve DaaS clients for just about 2 years. What execs really need to know is how much productivity DaaS brings to an organization. We have estimated that each employee saves 10 minutes a day in startup and shutdown time. Probably another 5 minutes a day in work from home productivity - i.e. more likely to log in from their home PC than if they had to carry a laptop home every night and no clunky VPN or Citrix session to dissuade them from getting on.

So, 15 minutes a day, that is 3% of their day back. 3% of an $80,000 a year employee is $2,500.

DaaS has a 300% return, with no capital at risk. That is what I would tell your execs. Feel free to ask questions.

Best!

Steve Murphey, Vice President

"With Cloud Connect, we have eliminated intermittent phone and internet service drops, increased the reliability of daily business tasks like writing e-prescriptions. We’ve even resolved printing issues. We have zero down time now as a result of connectivity because we’re always up and running.”

Alex Fuchs, IT Director for CCMD

“Usability is one of the most important factors in selecting technology solutions. We needed a solution that our staff could learn quickly and rely upon each day through high call volumes. Evolve IP emerged as best choice and the deployment has been very successful.”

HITRUST

Evolve IP is proud to have achieved the honor of being HITRUST CSF certified! Certification to the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) affirms that all of Evolve IP’s cloud computing and cloud communications services adhere to the strictest security standards for electronic protected health information (PHI). The HITRUST security standard was developed by and for the healthcare industry as a means of going above and beyond the compliance requirements of HIPAA.

The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) was developed to address the multitude of security, privacy and regulatory challenges facing healthcare organizations. The HITRUST CSF was developed by healthcare and IT professionals to provide an efficient and prescriptive framework for managing the security requirements inherent in HIPAA. HITRUST CSF rationalizes healthcare-relevant regulations and standards into a single overarching security framework. An important part of the “What is HITRUST” answer is understanding that the CSF is risk-based and compliance-based so that organizations can tailor the security control baselines and vendor management programs that they follow based on their specific organization type, size, systems, and regulatory requirements.

HIPPA

The Privacy regulations of the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require health care providers, organizations, and their business associates, develop and follow procedures that ensure the confidentiality and security of protected health information (PHI) when it is transferred, received, handled, or shared. This applies to all forms of PHI — paper, oral, and electronic, etc. Those who fail to adhere to HIPAA can suffer from huge fines climbing into the millions of dollars for major violations.

The Compliance Cloud™ fully enables covered entities and their business associates subject to HIPAA regulations to leverage a secure environment to process, maintain, and store protected health Information (PHI) featuring among other controls.

Evolve IP has received an SSAE 16 SOC 2 Type II report on our internal controls relating to how we assess and address the potential risks associated with the security, availability, and confidentiality of not only the cloud-based services that we provide, but also our physical and logical infrastructure.

CSA STAR

Evolve IP is also a registered and participating member of the CSA Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR). The CSA was formed to encourage transparency of security practices within cloud providers. It is a free, publicly accessible registry that documents the security controls provided by various cloud computing offerings, thereby helping users assess the security of cloud providers they currently use or are considering contracting with. CSA STAR is open to all cloud providers, and allows them to submit assessment reports that document compliance to CSA published best practices. The searchable registry will allow potential cloud customers to review the security practices of providers, accelerating their due diligence and leading to higher quality procurement experiences. CSA STAR represents a major leap forward in industry transparency, encouraging providers to make security capabilities a market differentiator.
